Twin Bridges 11-23

We fished the Spring River side yesterday from noon till dark. Found them on the drop off mostly in 19 feet of water on the bottom. Kept 10 keeper crappie from 12-16 inches, couple of white bass. 

They flat head was 44 inches, snagged in the tail. That was fun. 

And what is this?

How did you manage to land a Flathead that big on crappie gear??  Well done!

That was my question, especially hooked in the power spot.

Patience. We really wanted to see what it was more than landing it. But Paul got its head in his crappie net 😀 and I helped get it in the boat.

The guides there have been putting the smack down on crappie and spoonies this last month. I often wonder how long that lake can take those numbers coming out of it.

That's a monster flathead!

Were you using Livescope?

Yes. But I’m not sure it helped allot. We moved down the drop off and stayed constantly in 20 foot of water. Paul was watching it and saw fish take his jig but I didn’t and I caught more fish.

Paul has a lot of experience catching big fish. Phil not so much. Great fish😃
